Parallel Backup with gpcrondump and gpdbrestore

gpcrondump backs up the Greenplum master instance and each active segment
instance at the same time. gpdbrestore takes the timestamp key generated by
gpcrondump, validates the backup set, and restores database objects and
data into a distributed database.
